San Francisco -3 as they head to Nashville for Thursday Night Football. The 49ers moved into the favorite position by around 67% of the action coming in on the 49ers. The return of Kittle has moved the 49ers into looking like a playoff team as they have won 5 of last 6 games. Garoppolo second in passer rating behind Rodgers this season, he is 8-3 for his career in primetime games. They are scoring 25.7 per game while allowing 22.4. Jimmy G is leading the league in yard per attempt at 10.2 per attempt. Both these teams are at the top of the league in percent of run plays SF 4th and Tennessee 3rd.
The Titans get AJ Brown back while losing Julio Jones again. The Titans are led by the defense with the run D 2nd in the league allowing 89.6 per game, 49.3 the last 3, that may be the key to winning tonight. Scoring has been a concern since the loss of Henry, they average 24.1 for the year, but only 15.3 for the last 3 games.
Both teams need the game for playoff positioning the Titans are one game ahead owning the tie breaker for AFC South, while the 49ers are one game ahead of three teams that sit at 7-7 in the NFC.
All the action might be on the 49ers but my prediction 19-17 Titans.
